Inspection Overview

A home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take no more than a few hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

Most inspections cover 400 to 500 items depending on the size of the home. The results are provided to you in the form of a 35-40 page computer-generated report, complete with digital photos of any problem areas. All reports cover the structure from foundation to roof and evaluate the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems for operability and life expectancy. Our report is easy to read and the summary page lists all problem areas in one location on the report. The report is delivered directly to you via e-mailed for your convenience.
